Brooklyn, Saturday night

[giveherahand]

Mara, dressed in a skin-tight pair of black leggings and a shirt almost as ugly as Eggsy's terrifying wolf coat under her own leather jacket, glanced over at her date for the night. "Why do you smell like Outer Rim livestock?" she asked as they walked past an obscene number of tattoo shops and whiskey bars

"Detention," Eggsy replied, sniffing at himself. But it didn't help that he'd gone numb to the smell after an hour or so of shoveling shit. "Apparently you shouldn't drink in class or flirt with your prof."

[myfaireggsy]

"Gotta exist, right?" On the internet.

[giveherahand]

Mara nodded. "Maybe the kimchi guy's stopped crying and we could ask him?"

[myfaireggsy]

"And have to hear about more kimchi?" It was organic and locally sourced. And Eggsy didn't want any.

[OOC: Perfect icon is perfect.]

Mara made a face. "Good point. Maybe that guy over there in the vegan pride sweatshirt?"

She didn't pronounce vegan correctly. At all.

[myfaireggsy]

And Eggsy was not going to correct it. Because it was hilarious. "Dare you."

[giveherahand]

Mara went over and had a quick conversation that ended with her glaring and yelling, then kicking the man in the shin.

Mara wasn't doing well in Brooklyn.

[myfaireggsy]

Eggsy wasn't doing much better as he laughed and flipped the vegan off in her defense. He could take the guy. Vegans didn't get enough protein to fight back, right?

"Fuck off!"

[giveherahand]

Mara stomped back over. "The people here are weak. And touchy."

[myfaireggsy]

"Most vegans are," Eggsy replied, still giving the guy the stinkeye over Mara's shoulder. Because fights. "No meat, no sense of humor."

True story.

[giveherahand]

"Euphemism?" Mara wondered, tilting her head judgmentally at the vegan's skinny jeans.

[myfaireggsy]

Eggsy tilted his head and squinted until the guy stormed off in a huff at the scrutiny of his crotch. "Might be onto somethin' there."

[giveherahand]

"Not all that interested in investigating further," Mara said, sliding her arm around Eggsy's waist.

[myfaireggsy]

"So the skinny jeans weren't needed to seduce you?" he teased, returning the gesture to spin them around.

[giveherahand]

"I'm out in public with you and the wolf coat," Mara said, grinning up at him. "The jeans weren't needed."

[myfaireggsy]

Eggsy gave her a look of mock hurt. "This jacket is haute couture shit."

Yeah, he knew that term.
